I was wondering if there were any online betting sites that allow this? I know that certain restrictions are now in effect regarding online betting. Does anyone know of a online site that would allow a USA citizen to bet on UK horse races?

Newmarket

Newmarket is the home of the British Jockey Club, remains the headquarters of many national and international racing organisations. Newmarket thrived because of its marketplace and a profitable trade in accommodating travellers and so it continued for centuries, until King James I “discovered” its Heath in February 1604 as a fantastic leisure venue for his court and Newmarket’s sporting relations began.

Newmarket is well served for trouble-free transport links to the remainder of East Anglia: the A14 takes you in about 20 minutes to Cambridge in the west, where you can benefit from the delights of the ancient University Town. Newmarket racing is ingrained in Suffolk history and is alive and kicking turf today as one of the most exciting racecourses in the UK. Newmarket early in the morning is a strange place, busy with the activities of hundreds of centaur-like figures, nonchalant but serious, as though unaware of the danger and absurdity of answering rich men’s whims by teaching racehorses to run faster.

Charles II’s involvement from the mid 17th century secured Newmarket’s future at the heart of British racing. The local history of Newmarket is inextricably tied up with the history of horseracing. The historic centre of English racing is today home to the world renowned Newmarket racecourse, the National Stud and the National Horse Racing Museum.

Racing

Newmarket is on the up and up, boasting world class racing and facilities and the strikingly picturesque July Course offering its own exclusive brand of entertainment over the summer months.

Bronze Age barrows, showing proof of early activity, were dotted across Newmarket Heath until the 19th century when they were removed to make better conditions for horse racing. The Rowley Mile hosts racing of the highest calibre during the Spring and Autumn, including two of Britain’s five Classic races in early May: the 1000 and 2000 Guineas.

Racehorses

Of course, no visit to Newmarket is complete without visiting sites associated with its rich sporting heritage as the historic home of horse racing. You can visit the world prominent National Stud, take in a tour of the National Horse Racing Museum, and even arrange a tour of the town’s training facilities and gallops. The town has a exclusive environment consisting of the world’s most extensive training grounds (situated on the world’s largest expanse of tended grassland), over 2500 racehorses, some 70+ licensed trainers and more than 60 stud farms where the racehorses of the future are bred.

Course

The Rowley Mile racecourse sports a brand new grandstand which is a great feature of this lovely racetrack. The distinctive thing about teh Rowley mile course is that it is a straight track and has a large dip about two and a half furlongs out which can catch out three year olds, as you need to have a exceedingly well balanced horse to keep up an even tempo going into the dip and then have the endurance to come back up the dip to finish out the race. In the autumn the Rowley Course stages two further outstanding meetings in the Cambridgeshire and Champions’ Day race days.

Have a fantastic day out at Newmarket racing.
